Samsung’s Galaxy S20 receives Note 20 features with a new One UI update


The latest version of Samsung’s One UI software, which was announced alongside the Galaxy Note 20 earlier this month, has started rolling out for the Galaxy S20, the company has announced. SamMobile reports that the update is already appearing in selected European countries, including Italy, Hungary, Portugal, and the Netherlands. After all, the 5G Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra are one of the first to get the update.

One UI 2.5 brings some features of the Galaxy Note 20 to the S20 lineup. The most interesting of these is Wireless DeX support, which allows you to mirror your phone’s screen to supported TVs and use it as a touchpad.

There are also a few new camera features, such as the fact that Pro Video Mode can now manually switch between the different mics of the phone, and 8K video recording is supported at 24 fps. The notes app is also being updated, and can now sync audio recordings with written notes. One UI 2.5 also makes it easier to share Wi-Fi credentials with other Galaxy devices.

Samsung says the new update will launch today, August 21, for the Galaxy S20 lineup, but does not provide country specifications. Like the Galaxy S20 series, the update also comes “slowly” to other Samsung flagships, including the Galaxy S10, the Galaxy Note 10, and Samsung’s recent foldable phones such as the Galaxy Fold and the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, the company says .
